South Africa vs Pakistan | 4th ODI | Johannesburg | Jan 27, 2019 | South Africa innings Thread

[IAJ]

Loooked very close

 

[Mueez]

Should get Hasan on now.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Such a spirited crowd. Loving it.

Crowd has been awesome throughout the series.

Love em

 

[shah_1]

Beautiful bowling

 

[Chokli]

280+ and it's curtains for pakistan

after that we only watch to see how many runs we lose by

 

[IAJ]

Will regret the stupid review

 

[Pete Rose]

there is a reason we don't hear other pakistani commentators and it's always rameez.

even in ipl you'll hear rameez as the sole pakistani

Means absolutely nothing. Rameez is there because of longevity.

 

[Mueez]

That was plumb.

 

[MoJoJoJo]

Good to see shadab bowling with some flight..

 

[IAJ]

Should get Hasan on now.

He is on the bench, he can only come in with drinks at best

 

[Chokli]

Means absolutely nothing. Rameez is there because of longevity.

it means no other pakistani commentator can come close to rameez

 

[MoJoJoJo]

pitched outside leg..

 

[Pete Rose]

Every delivery looking like a wicket taking one.

 

[Chokli]

He is on the bench, he can only come in with drinks at best

[Pete Rose]

Legit.

 

[shah_1]

Trash bowler

 

[shariqnoor]

Two wrist spinners here and it would've been so difficult for SA. That is where India is leading the ODI scene. Kuldeep and Chahal are wreaking havoc in tandem.

 

[Mueez]

He is on the bench, he can only come in with drinks at best

Whatttt? Who has replaced him?

 

[IAJ]

Oh yaar

 

[Chokli]

pitched outside leg..

what're you talking about? all the columns were red

 

[IAJ]

Whatttt? Who has replaced him?

The one and only Shinwari

 

[shah_1]

It's fustrating to see Imad one bowling boundary ball in an over

So annoying

 

[DRsohail]

Imad is trash,i cant remmber the last time he got wicket.

 

[shah_1]

The pitch is good for spinners

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Pitch ideal for spinners right now and Imad still leaking boundary every over.

Below average bowler.

 

[Chokli]

Imad is trash,i cant remmber the last time he got wicket.

he is a batting all rounder, his goal should be to keep it tight

 

[Pakpak]

Pretty useless bowling from Imad.

 

[Mueez]

The one and only Shinwari

Awful decision. Hasan was looking good in the last couple of matches.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

It's not about howlers, it's the moments of brilliance that matter.

As I type that, Shadab has missed another run-out opportunity for Amla too. Good to great teams do not do that, Ponting and Symonds have won matches from the field doing run outs, even in last match despite all their trash fielding, Andele's catch of Hafeez was vital and possibly the difference between 317 and 340.

These are fine margins but that's how international cricket is. And we just don't do enough to actually be considered as a good team.

Just to point out, the useless mindless review taken has lost us a wicket now where we couldn't take a reviw.

Three critical mistake in about 20 overs.

That's just too many against good teams and that's why we are where are in terms of rankings.

 

[DRsohail]

he is a batting all rounder, his goal should be to keep it tight

How many matches he has won us with the bat.....perfect definition of bits and pieces crickter.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan should be ready to chase 360 plus.

 

[Pete Rose]

Rizwan’s commentary behind strumps seems adequate.

 

[IAJ]

Have a feeling Shadab will get Faf IA

 

[shah_1]

he is a batting all rounder, his goal should be to keep it tight

Which he isn't today

 

[Chokli]

How many matches he has won us with the bat.....perfect definition of bits and pieces crickter.

how many matches have you won in general with the bat? your main batsmen haven't won you any matches in God knows how long and you want an all rounder to win you one with the bat.

the only match i can remember is the most recent 1st odi vs sa... imad did well to get us to 317 last match

you need to remember where you stand as a team.

 

[Mamoon]

Pink Day is easily the highlight of the South African summer. The atmosphere is incredible, and the team is usually relentless on the day.

It is a matter of pride for them, and another resounding victory is coming up. Great opportunity for both to rack up hundreds here and bat us out of the game, similar to the one in 2013 when Amla and de Villiers thrashed us.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pakistan need to find a genuine off spinner who can build pressure. Imad is not a good option in long run.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Imad is trash,i cant remmber the last time he got wicket.

He got THE wicket leading us to win the CT 2017

AB Dev for a duck, nothing stopped pak after that

 

[Asif321]

No bus stand noise from behind stumps today

faf was out plumb lbw tho
Can't be getting 100s and be relentless on the back of horrible umpiring

 

[a_tahir]

Golden Duck.
Ab's first in odis

 

[IAJ]

Ntini looking classy there, lovely man.

 

[MMHS]

2 down 96 after 20; tripling it SAF shouldn't reach 300. PAK must not panic & allow the game to drift, 300-320 is within chasing range here.

 

[shariqnoor]

Shadab is bowling too quickly. When the pitch is spinning that much on a SA wicket that already has pace in it, 75-80kph is ideal.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Finally a boundary less over for Maddy. Yayy! lol

 

[DRsohail]

Oh bro he just lesser us the margin of defeat.Even Hassan ali scored an even better fifty in the last game but he is not an alrounder.A batting allrounder must win you matches with the bat which he can,t.He is blocking the way of a genuine spinner here.

 

[Chokli]

you honestly think this team is capable of chasing 300?

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Ntini looking classy there, lovely man.

nothing classy about his commentary, however

starts shouting stuff with no cohesion whatsoever

 

[Mamoon]

faf was out plumb lbw tho

Not his problem.

 

[IAJ]

Bowling yaar!

we'll never know since rain interrupted.

he's the best we have unfortunately.

Specialist captain sarfraz doing awful captaincy again

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Faf looking clueless!

 

[Pete Rose]

This is beautiful bowling by shadab.

 

[Something]

Shadab bowling so well!

 

[Gullycricket]

Bowling Shady

 

[IAJ]

Seems like it is one of those lucky days for Faf, could have been out 3 times

 

[ARK Rafay]

2013 Pink Day will happen. South Africa is sure looking for at least 350 here

 

[a_tahir]

Specialist captain d4oing awful captaincy again

It was rizwan that was REALLY persuading Malik to take it.

 

[IAJ]

Bowl a quicker one yaar

 

[Gullycricket]

Sarfaraz cant do that

 

[a_tahir]

2013 Pink Day will happen. South Africa is sure looking for at least 350 here

We don't have Wahab riaz but we have Shinwari that will do a Wahab today

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Shadab Khan has Faf's number.

 

[Something]

Nice work from Rizwan there.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shadab looks more threatening than Chal/Kuldeep at times.

 

[shariqnoor]

So impressed with Rizwan's keeping. Just looks like a natural keeper.

 

[ads101]

Thought's on Rizwan's keeping so far?

 

[DRsohail]

Sarfraz can only dream of such effort.

 

[Pete Rose]

Mbangwa getting us excited.

 

[a_tahir]

Sarfaraz cant do that

Sarfaraz is like the small guy in harry potter playing cricket

 

[Pete Rose]

Thought's on Rizwan's keeping so far?

Good. That throw and release pretty good.

 

[Chokli]

Mbangwa getting us excited.

he's an underrated commentator

 

[IAJ]

Thought's on Rizwan's keeping so far?

Excellent, taken a good catch and very alert.

 

[Shafi]

50 for Bhai!!!!!

 

[mak36]

Imad is such a nothing bowler. Need a proper second spinner.

 

[Pete Rose]

It’s still a good passage of play for Pakistan

 

[ads101]

So impressed with Rizwan's keeping. Just looks like a natural keeper.

lol just as I type this question asking about it. He's doing a fine job so far, looks like he's improved.

 

[Chokli]

Imad is such a nothing bowler. Need a proper second spinner.

i'll place an order for one, should be here soon.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan have pulled back the RR dramatically here
